President Trump will address world leaders next Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly with a speech focused on “protecting U.S. sovereignty” and expanding relations with countries that share similar values, according to U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

By sovereignty, Ms. Haley offered the example of the U.S. decisions to exit the U.N.’s Global Migration Compact and the international Paris Accord, because both agreements imposed mandates on the U.S. that weren’t in line with administration policies.

“The focus will be very much on the United States, what our role is in the world, the relationships we want to continue to build,” Ms. Haley said Thursday. “We really value sovereignty of the country. We think every other country should as well, regardless of who the country is.”

Mr. Trump also will “lay down a marker” on how the U.S. dispenses foreign aid to nations, Ms. Haley said. In the future, the aid will be contingent on whether the recipient country shares U.S. values or is “counterproductive” to U.S. goals, Ms. Haley said.

Ms. Haley previewed details of Mr. Trump’s speech and administration plans on Thursday. She said a large team of American officials, including Mr. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and other top advisers, would roam the U.N. to tackle a host of issues, from non-proliferation to counter-narcotics and migration issues.

At annual U.N. General Assembly gatherings, the U.S. president’s speech is viewed by world leaders as a roadmap for the nation’s foreign policy agenda and its global priorities. U.S. presidents also use the forum as a platform to send messages—and threats—to friends and foes.

Mr. Trump’s debut speech last year focused heavily on his “America First” worldview, in contrast to policies of western European allies such as France’s Emmanuel Macron and U.N. Secretary General António Guterres, who advocated for a multilateral approach for maintaining global order. Ms. Haley said the Trump administration wasn’t ruling out such approaches.

“It’s not saying multilateralism can’t work. It is saying sovereignty is a priority over all of that,” Ms. Haley said.

The annual gathering of world leaders at the U.N. provides an opportunity for each to address the world body and to meet with one another individually or in groups on the sidelines of the gathering. Mr. Trump next week is scheduled to host an event Monday on worldwide drug problems, and has invited other countries to sign a declaration on the fight against illicit drug smuggling, administration officials said. So far, 124 have signed.

Mr. Trump also will hold meetings with heads of states from South Korea, Egypt and France as well as with the prime ministers of Israel, Japan and the United Kingdom, administration officials said. He also may speak with Mr. Guterres in a “pull-aside” meeting.

Among highlights of the week will be a Security Council meeting on non-proliferation chaired by Mr. Trump on Wednesday. At that session, the issue of Iran’s long-range missiles, the 2015 international Iran nuclear deal, North Korea and chemical weapons in Syria will be discussed.

According to a senior administration official, Mr. Trump isn’t actively seeking a meeting with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, although he previously has stated that he would be open to meeting the Iranian president without preconditions.

The message the administration hopes to send to its European allies on Iran next week is that the “nuclear deal failed and European companies are leaving Iran,” the official said. Security Council diplomats said that European members will speak in defense of the nuclear deal and their commitment to uphold it.

Mr. Pence will attend a meeting on migration and Venezuela, while Ms. Haley will be at a meeting on Myanmar. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will chair a Security Council meeting on North Korea to push for enforcing sanctions on Pyongyang until negotiations lead to a deal for disarming North Korea’s nuclear and anti-ballistic missile programs.

The senior administration official said that some worry that South Korea’s “sunshine policy”—which seeks to improve relations with the North by opening economic and trade connections—could lead to a weakening of sanctions enforcement and reduce pressure on the regime.
